The infielders played a hard, fast game and showed considerable improvement over their work in the cage. The high wind, however proved very injurious to accurate playing on the part of the outfielders. The practice was directed solely by B. Wendell...

The play of the infielders was very fast, though at times inaccurate...

In most volcanic outbursts, persons are killed by a steam blast, falling hot material, a sea wave, or a wind high enough to overset masonry. Some theory of protection against these forces may be found by inquiring into the cases of persons who have been saved from these dangers. Dr. Jaggar explained at some length the celebrated cases of the prisoner of St. Pierre, Martinique, and the overseer...
